My first ever corset is done!
I thought the blue ribbon could make a cute bow, but I’m pretty sure I’m just going to cut it off. Gets in the way while lacing.

Lovely even gap in the back
And with this, I will never go back to non-custom fitted corsets. There is just no comparison between how this one feels compared to my Dark Garden corset. The main difference is I can get the bust tight enough without having to go OMGDEATHTIGHT on the waist. (Real conclusion – I am shaped like a cylinder).
I think this will just become my standard project-finishing image:

You are so right about custom-fitted vs. off the rack corsets. I will (also) never go back. Congrats on a very difficult project!
Thanks! It really is a revelation.
Molly – how splendid! What a beautiful result, both in fitting as well as composition. Hats off!!
Thank you! A great deal of credit goes to your class, which I will be recommending to everyone I know 🙂
